We have an Ebac Homedry 660 dehumidifier. It makes a noise when started and the red light indicating water tank full comes on. It has been inspected by a local repair shop and we have been told that the 'Fan' is not working. The workshop does not know how to get a spare part. Who is the repair agent in Auckland, New Zealand?

I bought an old Juki Baby Lock 418 at a garage sale. It will sew for 3 or 4 inches and then seems to be off timing and locks up. I have no instruction manual. Is there a manual available for this old machine? I would prefer a downloadable manual because I already have money invested in the machine which doesn't seem to work. It was suppose to have been gone over at a repair shop before I purchased it and was told that it worked. .

My Vacuum DC-17 has just quit sucking. It has been making quite a racket since I had the belt changed at a repair shop several months ago. I was told that the belt was a new design and figured that was why it was making so much noise. it seemed to work fine, was picking up dirt and all, but today, when I started vacumming, I noticed it was not sucking air either with the belt engaged or not. My vacuum is approx. 5 years old.

The motor in my Powermate (Kenmore Canister 116.27614700) is whining, high pitched, but still works. A local shop told me the motor is dying (the one in the Powermate that drives the beater bar) and would cost $150 for them to repair. The machine is only 1.5 years old and I paid $300...yikes.
I think I can fix it but don't understand why the foam gasket that apparently wraps around the motor costs as much as the motor. This is assuming that part 32 (ks747156) is the foam I see glued to my cur

I think you are right! Buy the motor.....use the gasket from the old motor if you can cut it off clean and just glue it on the new one.\015\012\015\012The connectors are just brass blade connectors which you should be able to get at a Ho ...

Repair Service I have a Miele White Pearl. I have a short in the head part of the vacuum ad need repair. Do you know a repair shop near Ely, Minnesota?

I have the IROBOT discovery that just got a new battery. IT ran great! As the battery was dying, I put it into the home base. The "brick" is green, the home base has two green lights and the on/off pulsates red. It never charges though. Eventually the red light stops pulsating. Customer service said to reset it, clean the metal, and nothing works! They told me to just buy another one. The problem is that I know it was working! Help!

The best thing that you can do is take the charger into somewhere that can test it for the proper output voltage. It should be somewhere very close to 22 volts with no fluctuation. The charger is the easiest thing to test in this case. ...

Had my dyson root cyclone for about 4 years now, and in the last year it's had a few problems. About 4 months ago it started to make this awful grinding sound when the roller bar was engaged and I took it to a repair shop and they said it was the roller bar itself. The shop replaced the part and it worked fine for a couple of months and then it started to make the grinding noise again. I tried the clutch reset suggestion (turn it on its side and turn the carpet/bare floor switch slowly back and

Dear Sir/Madam,
My old faithful Hamilton Beach Mixer, now 60 years old, is still
working but recently I was told by someone who looked at the
motor that it needed repair or replacement. Is it still possible
to get it in working condition?

The repair shop told me my Oxygen3 needs to have a sumo(?) board replaced...again. I am not willing to pay for another repair and am wondering whether an new hose and adjustable extension tube would solve the recurring problem. Is the sumo board located in those parts or is it a malfunction that transfers to somewhere in the canister?

Vacuum cleaner I am needing to buy a vacuum cleaner - the flooring in our house is mainly oregon pine with loose rugs. I suffer from back problems and find the cylinder vacuums cause a great deal of back strain. I have been told that an upright vacuum is not suitable for wooden floors - I would appreciate any advice, particularly if u know of an upright vacuum cleaner that works well on wooden floors Thank you

The vacuum is making a noise like something is stuck when it is in the carpet position but not when in the floor position. I can't find anything that is stuck in the areas that I can see. I have cleaned the brush but it does not seem to want to turn. Does this machine need to be oiled so the roller will turn? Is there a way to check inside the motor? Do you think that because the brush won't turn that is making the noise? Do you know of any repair shops in the Lake Havasu City, Arizona area?

As far as the roller brush goes, yes, it does need to be cleaned. Follow the directions to remove it and clean as best you can of all debris. On both ends of the roller brush there will be two "holders" of sort that connect the brush to the frame o ...

Hi., If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated, I have a Flair 3055 ventalation system in my house and over the last five years two fan motors have gone bad. it has been mickey moused together by a local repair man, and as of last week, it has died again. At 4-5 hundred a pop I would like to fix it myself, can anyone suggest a good replacement motor that will fit and work. My honey has breading problems and at this time of year, every penny is allocated, so time is of the essence.

Hello George, Sorry about your predicament. Various fans are available for your unit but since you say the unit has been mickey moused together adjustments must have been made to the fan seating and system therefore if you order any particular fan th ...

I slid the lever to lower the feed dogs and now (like so many other people have posted on the internet) I can't get them back up! I've sought out answers on the Singer website have called/emailed them but with no results.
I slid the lever to the up position for the feed dogs and rotated the hand wheel towards me several times (I was told this is what should raise them) but that didn't work. Does anybody on God's green earth know how to raise those stupid feed dogs???

Rotating the hand wheel will not move them. The lever should slide back from whence it came. Make sure you don't have the needle down among the dogs before you try to move it. The presser foot should also be raised first.\015\012Perhaps some ...

My Hoover Windtunnel Ultra U6425-900 began shutting off after a few minutes of vacuuming. The time interval became shorter and shorter. If I leave it sit a while, it will start again. This does not happen when I used the attachments - only with the floor brushes. The switch has recently been replaced and the whole vacuum serviced by a Hoover dealer about a year ago. I have been told by a local repair shop(not a Hoover dealer) that it is the motor, there is nothing to do other than replace t

I have a Euro Pro Compact Performer model # EP 171 which I love. It is the best iron I have found for my quilting class. When I went to use it, I found my cats had chewed the cord to the point that it is unsafe. I took it to a repair shop to have a new cord put on it and they told me it had to go back to the factory. I do not want to purchase another iron because it is my understanding this model is no longer made and because I love it. May I send this iron back to the factory to have a new
